The best thing about these new items is that even the busy mom and the mom on the go gets to enjoy being a parent and go about life without any hindrance. While some of these products are still quite pricey, by the year 2019, these 15 new baby products will be everywhere, while five of these baby products can be used by mom while still pregnant.
20. DETACHABLE CO-SLEEPER
Co-sleeping is frowned upon by everyone from doctors to fellow parents as it is said to increase the chances of SIDs. The inconveniences that come with separate sleeping, especially waking up to feed and soothe the babies in the middle of the night can be quite daunting. This is why many women find themselves flaunting the no co-sleeping rule.
Fortunately, manufacturers have come up with the perfect solution that solves this problem. The detachable co-sleeper. This nifty new invention can be attached to the bed so the two or you are not sleeping on the same bed but are next to each other. The best co-sleeper is lower than the bed so lifting the baby up is easier.
19. SUDS IN THE SINK
Filling the tub with water for a newborn is unnecessary as he does not need that much water to take a bath. With full tubs, chances of dropping and having the baby drown are increased. To reduce these seemingly far-fetched accidents, in comes the suds in a sink. This can give the jittery new mom, who has never washed an infant before some confidence during those hard to achieve baths.

17. MUNCH MITT
Teething comes with unique challenges, from fever to diarrhea to lack of appetite. A teething baby can be quite stressful to the mother and even to him as new teeth come with swelling that is quite uncomfortable. Even though powders and teething gels like Ashton teethers help alleviate some of this discomfort, the teething baby still finds chewing on something relieving.
This is why teething babies put everything in their mouth. There are teethers on the market but these too keep dropping to the floor and can bring germs to the child causing diarrhea. To prevent this, in comes this new invention in the name of a munch mitt. This is a mitten that is ambidextrous and the child can chew on through the day. The mitten is perfect as it can be machine washed as long as care is taken to dry it under low heat.
16. SMART SOCK BABY MONITOR
Sudden infant death syndrome has always been every mother's nightmare. When a child is sick and succumbs to the illness, there are some elements of closure for the mother as she watched him get sick and eventually give out. Unfortunately, when it comes to SIDs, that small courtesy is never extended to the mother and she is left wondering whether she caused it or if there was something she could have done to help save her child.
